Lala Kent dished about her upcoming appearance on Prime Video game show Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? – airing this Wednesday – and what she thought about host Travis Kelce.
The 34-year-old Vanderpump Rules star was still pregnant with her two-month-old daughter Sosa Kent when she taped her appearance, during which she took a group photo with the 35-year-old Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
‘I believe [he] had two girls [Sophia Stallone and Nicole Byer] on each of his sides,’ Lala (born Lauren Elyse Burningham) recalled on her Give Them Lala podcast on Monday.
‘And when he put his arms around us, he did not touch! [He] hovered, which I thought was very, very sweet.’
However, Travis had no problem touching the shoulders of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais and comedian Natasha Leggero when they served celebrity panelist duties on set.
Kent went on to reveal that Kelce’s girlfriend of 15 months – Taylor Swift – was ‘in his trailer’ during the episode taping.
The Utah-born beauty’s assistant-turned-cohost Jessica Walter interrupted: ‘Which was parallel to Lala’s, and I’m talking, like, 10 feet away, you guys … And I see a giant black SUV, and then we start hearing whispers on set. Like, what is that black SUV doing? It was our girl Taylor Swift in Travis’ trailer just visiting.’
‘Yep. Just visiting,’ Lala replied. ‘They were gonna have lunch together.’
‘And probably sex,’ Walter added.
Kent replied: ‘Yeah and probably sex. Probably. Good for them!’
The three-time Super Bowl champ reportedly scored a $1.8M paycheck to host the Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader spin-off for two seasons.
‘He was absolutely hysterical, even without a teleprompter,’ the Bravo-lebrity gushed.
‘You can just tell when people are actually really fun and funny, and I think you can kind of tell in his relationship with T Swift, like, they just look like they’re having fun. Right?’
Lala continued: ‘So there’s my little bit more of behind the scenes, but it was one of the most fun times I’ve ever had. It was nothing but lightheartedness and giggles. And for the first time ever, I was in a school setting where I was not s****ing bricks.’
Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity features contestants vying win a $100K cash prize, but they ‘must rely on a classroom full of celebrities to help them answer 11 trivia questions on a range of subjects, pulled from elementary curriculum.’
Travis and his football team will face off against the Denver Broncos at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, MO next Sunday.
The 34-year-old pop star is next scheduled to bring her $1.93B-grossing, 149-date The Eras Tour to the Rogers Centre in Toronto for six nights starting November 14.
On October 22, Kent impressively celebrated six years of sobriety alongside her daughter Sosa Kent (whom she welcomed via intrauterine insemination) and three-year-old daughter Ocean Emmett (with estranged ex-fiancé Randall Emmett).
The Give Them Lala Beauty founder co-parents her two children with her mother Lisa Burningham, who shares her $3.1M five-bedroom home in the San Fernando Valley.
On April 30, Bravo announced that its Emmy-nominated reality show would pause production for a full year, and Lala originally joined the cast as hostess at Lisa Vanderpump’s restaurant SUR in 2015.
Kent – who boasts 3M social media followers – is also every bit the influencer posting paid partnerships with brands like Amazon, Splash Refresher, Ninja Kitchen, and Phathom Pharmaceuticals.
